James Andrew - the Pablo Bronstein show at the MET - photo Nicholas Turner
I’ll always make room on my calender for an invitation to the MET. I recently enjoyed a preview of the work by the very talented Pablo Bronstein. Many of his lovely renderings on paper depict fanciful mythological scenarios using the MET as a muse. Bronstein professes a love for ” theatrical excess,” and this is quality is liberally infused throughout – whether it be in his monumental works devoted to the museum’s facade or in a grand picture of the Temple of Dendur. Bronstein also admits to a “completely unabashed love for the Baroque,” and has used the Baroque aesthetic in his fight against modernity. A truly romantic quest indeed!
The Museum Nearing Completion - 2009 by Pablo Bronstein.
I think it is particularly remarkable that Bronstein is only in his early 30’s – how fabulous to be recognized at such a young age by a prestigious museum! Do stop by and celebrate Bronstein’s success and enjoy this beautiful exhibition. Oh, and and should you want to receive invitations to similar exclusive previews, why not consider a membership at the MET!
On an exceptionally cold and dreary day I managed to pull together a respectable ensemble thanks to my super chic Le Chameau Chasseur boots (this gorgeous olive color works so well with a myriad of color combinations). I’ve paired these with my Gucci tweed check overcoat in shades of olive, dark green, rusty orange and brown, a camel silk/cotton ribbed turtle neck and brown tweed motorcycle pants both by Gucci, brown suede gloves by Sermoneta.
J,

mmmmm…I’m not sure really you look like you’re about to walk the dogs in the English countryside not going for an indoor jaunt round the MET 🙂 Those boots look tooo clean 🙂 but the coat is beautiful.
Me encanta la obra es muy elegante pero tú lo eres más, el abrigo te queda pintado

I should wear those boots for the cold winters here in East Hampton, green boots, a pantyhose and a cape, it´s all I need…….
